* The contents of this page are almost the same as the article "Learn the characteristics of Japanese language and study effectively (2) : Verb and its inflection" by KIKUCHI Yasuto (Former professor of the Center for the Japanese Language Education, the University of Tokyo) in International Center News, The University of Tokyo, No.34.19 As I have explained so far, the inflection type of a verb can be distinguished from its dictionary form, and then it is possible to make the four basic forms according to the rules. But the most difficult of the four forms is the te-form. The te-form has many sub-types within Type I. Please learn about these further in class. Again, it has clear rules, so I advise you to practice repeatedly with the rules in mind. The te-form can be seen in many usages such as "-teiru (be ...ing)", "-tekudasai (please ...)", "-temoii (may)", so to be able to use the te-form with ease in the early stages of studying Japanese is a must to improve later on. The Te-form is the most difficult and most frequently used form of the four basic forms, so learning it or not is the most important turning point at the beginning stage for successfully learning Japanese. I have elaborated on the importance of verb inflection. To learn grammatical rules logically, and to put them into use by practicing them and getting familiar with them are both necessary. Try your best! Points: Advise for Japanese learners (2) Verb inflection is one of the most important points at the beginning stage. 1. Distinguish the inflection types (there are rules).* Distinguish according to the dictionary form.2. Learn the formation of the four basic forms of each inflection type thoroughly (there are rules).3. Familiarize yourself with the dictionary form.Learning the te-form could be the turning point of Japanese learning
